Maria Karystianou criticized Adonis Georgiadis, saying that, in her opinion, he had shifted the public discussion from the issue of transparency to ideological confrontations and attacks on those who hold power. She argued that the participation of Greek ministers and MPs in meetings with foreign lobbying groups in a private club was not a private matter and that politicians were held accountable daily, not just in elections. Karystianou stated that the journalistic record of the participants in such meetings did not constitute intimidation, but rather was part of press freedom. She added that foreign policy and the defense of national interests should, in her view, be conducted institutionally, with transparency and respect for international law. In the postscript to her statement, she referred to public statements by Georgiadis and Maria Pagoni regarding a bioresonance machine, which, as she wrote, had a European CE marking and had not been previously verified. She also mentioned that she had information about leaks from the ministry concerning her alleged participation in a company that conducted chemotherapy without a license. She claimed that she only operated her own clinic, accused the minister of targeting her, and stated that he would lose. #Διαφάνεια #Δημοκρατία #Ελευθεροτυπία (translated)

Disappointing to see @RTE.ie using Dalton's framing of the the meeting in Moate tonight as some sort of open citizens' assembly rather than the special interest lobbying event it is.
